hey yell, my 2008 Limited with the auto climate control has been doing strange things, namely that the AC system takes 15-20 minutes to engage after driving. Outside Temps are well above the set min temp of 60F. After 15-20 minutes the AC will engage and blow cold as ice.

Maybe unrelated but in cold months the front heat is lukewarm at best, while the rear system is HOT. I suspect this is a messed up heater core though, previous owner used the dreaded stop leak...

Coolant levels are good, no overheat issues, truck lives in Alasla and seems 85F on the hottest day of the year.

Any ideas? Not wanting to send her to a shop lol.
